Horse Stealing<\/p>\n
A young man by the name of Jack BARNES<\/strong>, was arrested in this county on Tuesday last and committed for trial on the charge of horse stealing. \u00a0He has been suspected for a long time, and was arrested with three stolen horses in his possession. \u00a0He is also charged with having murdered a man by the name of Grant, some time ago, and committing other crimes, which have rendered his name somewhat notorious in this county.<\/p>\n From his youthful appearance, one would hardly suppose him to be a highwayman, a horse-thief or a murderer. Yet he is charged with all of these; and “what crime is there beneath the roof of Heaven, that stains the soul of man with more infernal hue than murder?”<\/p>\n We pity him from the depth of our heart. \u00a0Surely we have fallen upon evil times when young men reared amid the civilizing influence that surround him in this enlightened country, should forget the moral teachings of a mother, the warnings of a father, and all the nobler impulses of his own young, vigorous nature, and resort to the highway and to the bloody knife to get a living. It is a sad commentary upon the evils of the time.<\/p>\n The Pulaski citizen. (Pulaski, Tenn.), 26 Jan. 1866. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers.
